Let Down

My Cats let me down tonight. The first half was rough and I felt like they just had given up. After half they came back alive and almost had it. Really.... 1 point difference! I'll always bleed blue and support my team! Go Cats! I still love ya!

Last Day!

Today is my last day! I go in to work in about 40 minutes at hometown. It will be my last time for awhile... (or until the have someone call in and need me to fill in). It's been such a long day already that I honestly don't even want to go in. Work was one of the worst days ever! The kids were crazy, well mainly just a certain one. All I know is a kid should not make their teacher want to run out of the room and cry for many of reasons. I've had enough of it and things MUST change or else I won't put up with it the way it is now. Anywho I'm off to get ready for the next job. Later!

Goodbye Hometown

For those of you who do not know, my sisters and I have all worked at a restaurant called Hometown Pizza. I personally have worked there the longest, 7 years! Next week is my last official week there and I'm kind of amazed. I have mixed feelings about leaving, but at the same time they're going to keep on on call. That way I can still work every once and awhile for fun. I decided to leave since I work full time now. It's hard to keep both jobs and have sleep. I wake up early and go to bed way late. Overall it's going to be weird, but I think it will be good for me.

I also smile a lot more because of someone. If you know me well enough, you should know who that is :) :) :) :)

night

Once again I haven't written often, so sorry. My life isn't too exciting nowadays. All I do is work, work, work. Teaching preschool again and still serving at night really leaves me with no time. However I have decided I really don't have any good friends here in Kentucky anymore. There are a few that I have kept up with over the years, however we talk and see each other once a month or so. This makes my life rather boring. I'm a single kid who just wants to live life and enjoy it while I can. I've decided I miss Utah the most because of the friends I had there. Don't get my wrong I love my friends from Idaho as well, but in Utah I felt my life was finally starting to come together. I miss it like mad craziness right now and would do just about anything to be there. Anytime I think about what I want to do with my life I just can't stop thinking about Utah... weird I know. Growing up I was the one who said I would never live there, and now I want to go back there. Anyway that;s all I really have to say.

It's off to bed I go. night!

Sleepover

The past couple of weeks I've been really sick and Bethany has wanted to have a sleepover. So last night I went over and picked her up and she came over. We went to Wal-Mart and picked up some essentials for a sleepover... nail polish, oreo's, etc. She had put in her request for pizza for dinner so we headed home and did our nails while we waited on Grandma and Grandpa (Nick, Amy, and Calire as well) to arrive with the pizza. While they baked we all played some Hi-Oh Cherrio's, it's her new favorite game. We just hungout afterwards and watched some TV. Then it was off to bed where Bethany was too excited about her first sleepover to sleep. I tried getting her in bed at 8:30 (let's be for real she's almost 4 so that's late to her) but she just laid there and laid there. I would be laying there and she'd pop up and ask me what I was doing and I'd tell her to go to sleep. So around 10 o'clock she finally asked for me to get in her bed with her... in her sleeping bag. I agreed as it is her first sleepover away from home that she actually is aware of, she's spent the night several times when she was a baby, but this was different. As soon as I got in bed with her she was out cold. Then about 5:30 came around and there's this little girl in my face... "is it time to get up?" :) "Not yet Bethany, go back to sleep... ok" Around 7:30 we finally stumbled out of bed and found Grandpa to put in our Breakfast Order. Pancakes! YUMMY!

Afterward we played some games with Grandma and helped Grandpa fx one of her chairs. Then one last game on the computer, then it was time to head back home. Overall Bethany and I had a blast at our first real sleepover together. Being the single aunt is fun because I get to do things the others don't :) I love little Bethany... well I guess she's not so little anymore. Thanks for playing with me this weekend!

Catching Up

It's been a rather long time since I last posted, so here I am trying to play catch up. Honestly not too much has happened. November 23 my nephew Austin was born! Then the family had a good Thanksgiving just relaxing and spending time together. Then comes the excitement that comes along with the month of December for us. We have 3 birthdays, plus Christmas. Laura's birthday is the 2nd and she was hoping that Claire would share her birthday. However my little niece Clarie just missed the 2nd and was born Dec 3rd @ 1:35 am. How amazing is that our family was blessed with not one but two sweet babies this year. Just a couple days after the newborn Papa had his birthday on the 6th! That first week was awful busy, but also fun.

After the excitement had settled down it was time to prepare for Christmas! Christmas is such an amazing time of the year. We get to ponder and reflect upon our Savior. He has done so much for each and everyone of us it's hard to comprehend it at times. His birth was such a marvelous event.

This year everyone but Heather's family was here for Christmas. We sure missed having them, but it was still a good Christmas for us overall.

December 27th my friend Josey turned 21! So a group of us went out to dinner and what not. We had a good time and all made it home safe and sound that night. Happy Birthday to everyone!

Gummy Bear

Today when I walked out of the house there was a package sitting there. When I looked closer it had MY name on the label. I opened it, and this is what was in side! Jeff sent me the world's largest gummy bear. 5 pounds of gummy bear, and it's equivalent to 14,000 normal ones!

Good Ole Barn Dance

This year for Halloween some of us headed to Nicholasville KY for some good ole country fun a barn dance! Here's just some of the good times that were had.

Pumpkin Roll

My obsession for pumpkin has struck once again. Papa was wanting something made out of his pumpkins, however he didn't know what to make, so I took over and made my homemade pumpkin roll! I peeled, cut, and boiled the pumpkin and made the puree. From there I was able to start the baking. Here are some of the pictures from it all. Sorry if the pictures aren't the best, they're from my phone.

YUMMY

My Pumpkin I picked with DJ

My Pumpkin and Mom's Flower's

No idea what to call this...

I guess I should catch everyone up on my life as of lately. I haven;t really done too much but work, hangout with DJ, and the singles. Then this past week I had started a a new job and well long story short glad to not be working there anymore. However in the short time I did work there the kids in my class happened to get me sick :( I broke down this week and went to the doctor and had a sinus infection and 2 ear infections.... yuck! Anyway tonight I should be going to a haunted house... should be interesting I hate being scared. I need a strong man to come and keep me safe, any suggestions?!
